Ok I know how you feel, to lose scope "zoom" is like to loose one eye, but don't freak out yet, later you will understand that you don't realy need it in OLC GOLD. Except the moment when you want to calculate true course using whiz wheel. You will have troubles calculating AOB from great distance without zoom. But I don't think it's very bad.
If you already have veteran eye on AOB betting you will not go missing :)

I installed the mod a few days ago, and I'm still missing the zoom... I hope it will get better! :)

The other thing I miss is the bearing rose on the map, the one that came with GWX. I'm talking about the compass that is centered on your U-boat on the navmap. It was so helpful! I also cannot see my position on the map (unless I draw some waypoints).

Is there a way to get back that bearing rose?

Btw, thanks for the mod, OLC, it is simply brilliant!

Installed the MOD a few days ago also..this makes the game so much better.

I would advise anyone who is having trouble switching or choosing to switch from auto to manual or thinking that its just not worth the time to learn the targeting to try this mod. If you have access to a laptop and can set it up next to your "SH3 COMPUTER" :D Then go ahead and download the "ORIGINAL OLC VIDEO" and play while you watch. The learning curve will shorten if you do this. With in a few hours I was feeling very comfortable with the whole system and often wondered why I didnt do this earlier. As they say in those cheesey ITT commercials back here in the States " If I can do it then anyone can"

Thanks OLC.
You have kept my SH3 from hitting the "ONCE PLAYED" shelf in my vast collection of "ONCE PLAYED"

aob and range is not a problem for me,i always caculate them by eye looking.so maybe i should use this mod,and forget olc gui1.2.7.

btw,the gui 1.2.7 is compatible with GWX3.

Yeah, it'll work, but there might be some old or missing entries in the en_menu.txt file (or whatever it's called) and some slightly incorrect images (such as the wrong torpedo images in the torp loading screen) but those are minor things. I do vaguely remember one pretty severe problem that that file caused with GWX3 if you used SH3 Commander, but I think that only happened if you picked a certain date and flotilla... though I really can't remember for sure now. Anyway if you've noticed no problems then it's probably fine. :up:

yes,i used olc1.2.7 in GWX3 and found no problem at all,i have finished 16 potrols successfully,and everything is ok.

I managed to get back the bearing rose, so everything is fine.

For those who miss the attack scope zoom: the vertical markings of the observation scope are the same as the attack scope's rangefinder ones. This way you can measure the distance of ships that are far away more accurately.

One question with this MOD..I notice that the Navigator (NA) is the one to goto when you ask for a weather report. How does the Navigator know the weather @ 80meters?

He has got all the neccesary celestial navigation, planet ephemeride and astronomy books under his desk. Wouldn't be surprised if he does astrological predictions as a hobby. ;)

Either that or he's a psychic :DL

What's the longest time you've ever stayed at 80 meters for? ;)

Ok I withdraw the question :DL
